Aerial Wi-Fi (should that be Hi-Fi...)

The first commercial broadband service for passengers will be officially
launched by German airline Lufthansa next month.
Following successful trials over the past year the service will be offered to
passengers on long-distance flights. The service developed in partnership with
Connexion by Boeing should be available on all of Lufthansa's 80 long-haul
aeroplanes by the end of next year.
It has managed to pip the other airlines currently trialling in-flight
broadband technology, which include British Airways, Singapore Airways and Japan
Airlines.
"Certainly by next month, we'll have our first broadband-enabled
aeroplane officially flying,"
"It worked brilliantly when we trialled
it last year. Our advantage over other companies who are trialling
in-flight internet services is that ours gives a true broadband
connection. It's as fast as working in the office." |
